A similar three-stable building was previously approved under 15/01134/B, slightly smaller at 4m x 7m and partially outside the residential curtilage, and could still be built as the dwelling construc…
General Policy 3
GP3 prohibits development outside zoned areas except for essential agriculture/forestry buildings. The officer assessed the stables as ancillary to the approved dwelling within its curtilage, not expanding into countryside, unlike potential prior scheme.
Environment Policy 1
ENV1 protects countryside from adverse development unless overriding need. The proposal's low visual impact and curtilage location outweighed protection concerns, with paddock condition preventing residential expansion.
Environment Policy 21
ENV21 restricts horse stables in countryside if detrimental to character via siting/design/size/finish. The single-storey timber-clad slate-roof design reflects equestrian purpose, sited to minimise impact, wholly in curtilage.
Time limit
The development hereby approved shall be begun before the expiration of four years from the date of this decision notice. Reason: To comply with article 14 of the Town and Country Planning (Development Procedure) (No2) Order 2013 and to avoid the accumulation of unimplemented planning approvals.
Private equestrian use only
The stables may be used only for equestrian purposes by those resident in the main house on the site and may not be used for any domestic storage or any commercial use. Reason: In the interest of highway safety.
Paddock use restriction
The field/paddock shown within the red line on the submitted drawings, to the northwest of the main dwelling house may be used only for agricultural or equestrian use or as open space and may not be used for any domestic or residential purpose. Reason: In the interest of visual amenities of the area and to prevent the expansion of the residential curtilage into the agriculture field northwest of the fence.
